cracked the code
The weather was perfect for heading out wide on tuesday so we decided to try Deep Dropping out from Two Rocks. We were lucky and managed to sit on a cruising speed of 36 to 40 knots and we got out in the 250mt mark in no time. We started to drift preparing our gear for the day, as we getting rigged up we found some solid schools of fish so we marked the spot and had one drift over it which turned out to be a double hook up with 3 fish landed on the first drop. With high fives all round one of the boys decided to drop a jig, 3 pump and winds and BANG instant hook up, couple of minutes later a nice 25kg grey band breached the water. With more yelling and screaming we dropped jigs again and same story happened again, jig jig, BANG another nice grey band hits the surface. There was next to no current and we managed to bag out on some nice Grey Banded Cod (8 Bar) in an hour or so. Here are a few pics from the day.

How far to 250m
Just curious how many miles out is it to get to that type of depth of water?

Smashed it mate. Even better
Smashed it mate. Even better seeing them on jigs too! Makes you wonder how many were down there in that school
Keep up the good work
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Transducer
Well done fellas, I can't believe the pics are from a 600Kw transducer.
Can you fish that deep with 2 rods or do they get tangled? All the Deep Sea FWA episodes I've seen were using only one rod.
